| Torrified wheat in witbier? Issues with conversion at high %? Posted: 05 Apr 2021 07:37 PM PDT Anyone have any experience of using torrified wheat in witbiers as the main component? I'm considering a grain bill of 45% pilsner, 45% torrified wheat, and 10% oats, but would that volume of torrified wheat cause issues with conversion/hitting target gravity? The recommendations for torrified wheat generally are for it to constitute up to 10% of the grist; I have used torrified wheat in a witbier in the past - I think it went ok, but it was many moons ago, and I didn't make any notes at...

| Funny thing I noticed about beer bottles... Posted: 05 Apr 2021 07:16 PM PDT As I recently realised that it's a handy idea to have at least one or two clear beer bottles in a batch of beer (well, duh!), I've been trying to buy clear glass bottles in the shops. But most supermarket beer I generally buy is in brown bottles. And looking at the minority of beers that are sold in clear bottles, the majority of them (Spitfire, Doom Bar, etc) have that type of bottle that doesn't have the big 'collar' under the lip. I *can* use these, but they have to be hammered on with a... Funny thing I noticed about beer bottles... |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2021 05:10 PM PDT Does anyone know where I can get the flat o-rings of the correct size for keg disconnects, please? I mean the ones that are on the bit that unscrews from the top of the disconnect. I bought some used kegs that came with a bunch of CMB disconnects which unfortunately, along with the kegs, are pretty horrid. I think the previous owner gave up brewing some years ago and left the equipment unwashed, so new seals all round. Anyway, I have found that a 10mm ID 2mm thick o-ring does the job...

| Help with ODL Lierna regulator Posted: 05 Apr 2021 05:04 PM PDT Has anyone had to take one of these apart? It seems a bit more complex than most regs. Scoured the internet yet despite this being a seemingly popular reg I cant find anything. need to strip and clean it as although brand new it was creeping up pressure when pressure testing dry with empty keg, and not adjusting smoothly/accurately. Removing the front body shows some staining/ ingress of debris possibly from storage or manufacturing process, anyway i cant find a way to remove diaphragm... Help with ODL Lierna regulator |
| So who's growing chillies 2021? Posted: 05 Apr 2021 04:22 PM PDT I am! But then I do every year  .It's always tough to select what to grow but I've got Dorset Naga, Michael's Magic, Turtle Claw, Jamaican Jerk (all capsicum chinense), Tropical Orange (capsicum pubescens), and Madre Vieja (capsicum baccatum) in the propagator with reasonable germination so far. I'll get my capsicum annuum sown at the start of March (they don't need so long a growing season) but haven't quite decided what I'll grow yet. What are you growing / will you grow this year? |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2021 04:08 PM PDT Well, what did you expect! I've done Victorian Bitter, Victorian Mild, and now .... This is actually hastily summarised from my ramblings om "Jim's" forum, but I wasn't going to miss the opportunity of possibly being scrutinised by @patto1ro if he's still nosing in on this forum (but I've already made the mistake of thinking he was a one-day fleeting visit). But even without his input, I think there's plenty of folk here that can make useful additions. Note, this is... Victorian Porter |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2021 04:06 PM PDT How long does it take you to bottle, and how can I speed it up 2 days ago I bottled 120 litres, from 6 batches, I didn't start until 10pm,did priming sugar, sanitised bottles, transferred into bottling bucket, capped with bench capper. Finished at 5am. I know I could of done some of it the next day but just wanted to get it done. so how can I speed it up. One mistake was drinking whilst doing it! My first 2 batches were into 330ml bottles the rest in 500 ml and 650 ml bottles. |
| Fridge Dimensions for Kegerator? Posted: 05 Apr 2021 03:50 PM PDT I wonder if somebody could give me minimum internal dimensions for a fridge to be able to use as a kegerator with 2 corny kegs? Or other options? Probably with enough height not to have to put the beer line through daft bends, or at the very least the height of a 19L corny keg. Thanks |

| Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:47 PM PDT I have acquired a fridge for brewing in the shed, as My 2nd effort at a Brewmaker Premium Pilsner Kit is almost at the bottling stage, I'm wondering if it would be worth cold crashing it. My 1st attempt I used Liquid Malt Enhancer, which turned out quite hazy but tasty enough, this one I've used brewing sugar instead, I transferred into the bottling bucket today and stirred in a bentonite mixture as this too is very hazy, would cold crashing for a couple of days be worth it? |
| What kit beer are you drinking tonight? Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:37 PM PDT As the title says - What are you drinking tonight? |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:28 PM PDT Nothing special a wholemeal bread with pumpkin seed and caraway seed, family get together tomorrow will be making some cheese and onion bread, maybe even some tomato and basil. |
| CML Beòir Yeast Overattenuating Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:23 PM PDT This is the first time I've used Beòir yeast with a stated attenuation of 73-75%. Made a batch of Summer Lightning OG 1050 mashed at 66C and pitched Saturday. Came to rack into secondary this morning and the RG is 1004 giving an apparent attenuation of 92%! I'm aware of the limitations of my hydrometer, in fact water at 20C gives a reading of 1000 at the top of the meniscus rather than the bottom. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience with this yeast. Otherwise, it's amazing... CML Beòir Yeast Overattenuating |
| Covid the jab and the final stage. Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:21 PM PDT SWMBO is a front line worker (carer) she has had the first jab and is now tested twice a week she also has the lateral flow test with the results showing 30 minutes after the test whenever she goes to work on the other days, there are no cases of Covid where she works and there hasn't been for quite a while. I am hoping as a front line worker my turn will come soon my age will also help, its not often i am glad i am an old fart.  |
| How many litres of home brew have you made 2021. Posted: 05 Apr 2021 01:54 PM PDT Last years record has been smashed was Covid part of the reason, did you make more in 2020 than you would have had covid not happened? 2020 total - 33156 2019 total - 22,170 2018 total - 15337 |
